School is so much better than work
This week has been more of a break than most of my break was. Ewing and I went kayaking on Monday. ‘Kayaking?!’ you might say, ‘In January?!’ Well, it’s far less impressive when you learn that on Monday it was 65 degrees out. Highly irregular. I think we’ll just keep the kayaks handy for when those polar ice caps melt and flood us out.
It was a lovely trip, we saw some swans, and met a local do-gooder. The do-gooder kindly informed us that we couldn’t paddle the particular area we were in because their decoy ducks were tethered with weighted wire. I do fancy myself a skilled enough kayaker to navigate through 2 plastic ducks on strings. But, thank you neighborhood watch lady, duly noted, it’s safe to go back in your house now. Those rogue kayakers will be out of your way shortly. And if that’s not fast enough, feel free to enter the 40 degree water and give us a little push. Wow, that came out far more bitterly than intended. Other than that, winter kayaking is cool. As soon as your hands go numb, you should get out. Unlike in summer, when, as soon as you can fry and egg on the boat deck, you should get out.
On Tuesday, school officially started. I’m taking just two ‘real’ classes, a gym, and clinicals. My gym class is bowling. All we have to do to get the essential “P” is show up, bowl four games a week for 6 weeks, and well, that’s basically it. You don’t have to be good, you can score a 0 for all they care. There isn’t even any instruction. Just throw a ball in the general direction of the pins, and you’re all set, sweet! (unfortunately, there’s no drinking during class time, oh well.)
Search term of the week: “taking naps at work” Oh yes, throw that phrase into your google search bar, hit ‘I’m feeling lucky’ and well, if you’re reading this, you’re already there.
